The first Allegro, launched in 1973, was designed as a replacement for the Austin 1100 and 1300 models, and BL wanted to follow the Citroen approach of combining advanced technology with styling that eschewed mainstream trends, to create long lasting timeless models. BL introduced in September 1974 an upmarket Allegro branded as the Vanden Plas 1500, and the unpopular quartic steering wheel was dropped in 1974 when the SS model was replaced by the HL. Its model years run from 1973 to 1975.
